Charlize Theron Sued For Watch Oversight.CHARLIZE THERON is being sued for wearing the wrong watch on the red carpet.Watchmakers at Raymond Weil signed the Oscar winner as a spokesmodel for their $7,000 (£3,500) Shine watches, and were upset when they spotted her wearing a rival Dior timepiece at a 2006 Texas film festival.According to website FilmStew.com, the Theron/Weil deal was worth an estimated $20 million (£10 million), and now the watchmakers are asking for their cash back.In court papers, they insist Theron is guilty of breaching a contract and promoting a competing watch.Weil attorney David Jaraslowicz says, "If you're the model for Ralph Lauren, you can't show up wearing Gucci at the Academy Awards. She undercut our entire ad campaign."We spent a fortune on an ad campaign centred around her, then she goes off and makes us look silly in the industry by wearing Dior."0Comments | Be the first to comment!
